All UCs (2025-2026)

[sage pine]

CSU apps are a crazy strat tbh
zero essays just your grades, but means they need to be very good for like Cal Poly or SDSU

[ashen sky]

i wrote them all in 30 minutes

15 minutes in august 15 minutes on november 30th

[torpid fiber]

i’ve noticed that csu required classes r pretty different than ucs

for my major at least

like there isn’t much overlap

[ashen sky]

thats way more valid

[sage pine]

ah yea thats prob true

[ashen sky]

berk is expensive if you don't get good aid

[short cedar]

is ucla confirmed friday or no

[ashen sky]

and berk is lwk buns if you are stem

[spark vault]

I got into sdsu but I haven't gotten a decision from SLO, so I assume rejection

[tidal mica]

They were premed

[spark vault]

?

[torpid fiber]

no idea about other ones

[tidal mica]

Isn’t berk better for stem?

[ashen sky]

yeah berk is the absolute worst for premed

[woven rune]

They frame it as if they will read it for transfers

So i think ucsd does read them but

Probably not as seriously

[ashen sky]

yes those who survive will do really well

[woven rune]

obviously gpa and empluzzment is the most important two things for a transfer

and campus involvement

if u got those 3 ur good

[ashen sky]

unfortunately berk's environment creates those who don't survive

[spark vault]

Those who survive 😭

[raven mauve]

Why do oos ppl apply to ucs bro im crine its like 90k

[spark vault]

Yeah idk
Happy to be in state

[ashen sky]

oos people are either rich or delusional

[raven mauve]

Same even in state it’s also expensive

[sage pine]

OOS are people content with being full pay

which is insane but yea they exist

[raven mauve]

Damn

Crazy dude

[ashen sky]

sometimes they are lwk just trying to aura farm and not go

and they actually get in which lwk pmo

[raven mauve]

atp just apply to usc oos

[woven rune]

Every oos person ik got a massive house

[raven mauve]

Same LMAOO

[ashen sky]

usc oos and usc instate is the same

[raven mauve]

Wait actually??

[ashen sky]

yes

we are a private school

[raven mauve]

Oh

[woven rune]

Yup! It's just a very nice affordable 100k

[raven mauve]

Wait ur right

[sage pine]

well yea USC and privates dont care about residency

[raven mauve]

I forgot

[ashen sky]

besides domestic vs intl

[sage pine]

well yea

[ashen sky]

usc is so affordable that i am going to go broke

[spark vault]

😼

[ashen sky]

unfortunately ucsd was more expensive

[woven rune]

Fade this dude

[spark vault]

?

[woven rune]

That's my admission file

[ashen sky]

wait you get to see your app stuff like this?

[woven rune]

My first ucsd reader fucken hated me

FUck this guy for saying 11 aps was average tf is wrong with you bro

[ashen sky]

usc doesn't give any new info with the application review 🥀

[raven mauve]

Damn sometimes I forget ppl come to California thinking it’s like aesthetic beach place like how ppl from west coast move to nyc thinking it’s gonna be so aesthetic and cool

[woven rune]

i had a third reader

cause my first two readers didn't agree

[spark vault]

They let you see this stuff?

[woven rune]

Yeah if you commit

You can request your admission file

It's barely anything

[spark vault]

Intriguing

[woven rune]

It's just how I found out I had three readers and the first reader wanted me rejected

[warm juniper]

Send me the link to it

🤓

i saw a reddit post then forgot

[woven rune]

https://www.reddit.com/r/UCSD/comments/qxzde2/i_got_my_ucsd_admissions_file_heres_how_you_can/

It takes a min to get it

[warm juniper]

Tanks

[woven rune]

Second reader from downtown

Third reader secured it with my overrride

Dude overrode my admissions decision to get me accepted

ima shake his hand

[sage pine]

thats crazy

[woven rune]

That's all i got for reader 3

UCs use a scale of 1-5

1 is the best and not very common

5 is buns

[ashen sky]

i wish i could see all my files

[woven rune]

I got a 2, 2, 4 so they averaged it to a 2 i guess

You can only see it for the school u currently attend

But yeah it was cool to see but they barely left any comments

[ashen sky]

yeah usc don't show shit 🥀

[woven rune]

Literally just that I had a challenging senior year schedule and adhd

That's it

I mean for the second most applied to school in the country

You can only make so many comments when you got so many applicants to go through

[sage pine]

yea exactly

theyre spending a few minutes at most on yours

[woven rune]

Yeah fs

I found out some other insider trade secrets

My friend's dad is a ucla ao

Like it's not that serious but they do "rank" their waitlists even though they say it's not ranked

[ashen sky]

i was on the fucking bottom then 😭

[woven rune]

Yeah when ucla rejected everyone off the waitlist i was left on it

and that meant that i was ranked high on the wl but there wasn't a spot for me

I got rejected like 2 weeks after

[ashen sky]

ye i didn't get past the second round 🥀

[woven rune]

did they leave u on it too

[sage pine]

i should request my file here sometime but i doubt itd have much on it

[woven rune]

It was lame af to get left on the wl

Just reject everyone don't get other people's hopes up

[ashen sky]

no i got rejected once they started thinning it out

[woven rune]

yea

but ya for any applicants rn dw there is nothing u can do

[ashen sky]

i had so much hope cuz people identical to me were getting off in a2c in august 🥀

[woven rune]

but yeah you are ranked on the waitlist

[ashen sky]

i think i fucked up my wl loci anyway fr

[woven rune]

Bro

Mine was so fire

[ashen sky]

don't write things you did wrong on it chat

[woven rune]

Genuinely art

[ashen sky]

i put i had two Cs 💀

what was i smoking

[woven rune]

Bro you should Have LIED

My boy capped his ass off on it

[warm juniper]

@woven rune Wha happens if u were waitlisted and then accepted

[woven rune]

He still got rejected but like

Lmaooo

[warm juniper]

Does it say anything different

[ashen sky]

i would've gotten rescinded if i got off anyway

[woven rune]

Uh my boy was a wl admit and his just looked the same as mine

He had a score of 2.5 or smth

Or maybe 3.5

I know it was a .5

[warm juniper]

ohh ok

[tired radish]

If i submit a sir do i have to withdraw my other apps

[warm juniper]

Wondering if it says like "waitlist"

[woven rune]

Yeah u prolly should

Just so you can help anyone on the wl

[ashen sky]

you can but like its not really ED

if you just wait for the others to expire its nbd

on like may 1st

[warm juniper]

Do it to not be an ass

😭

[tired radish]

But like im tryna see if i can get in 😭

[warm juniper]

bruh

[ashen sky]

i had like 12 acceptances last year i could not be bothered to withdraw allat

[woven rune]

That's lame dawg

[warm juniper]

u alr got into ur accepted one

[woven rune]

I know it's cool to just know

[warm juniper]

and sir

[woven rune]

But like it's lame

[warm juniper]

Fr

[woven rune]

Frowned upon

[warm juniper]

Slimed upon

[dire lance]

are u guys excited for friday

[warm juniper]

no

[ashen sky]

friday is depressing

[dire lance]

oh

[tired radish]

Wouldnt the waitlist people not even be on the waitlist if the decisions arent released

[woven rune]

Like i get you wanna be curious i would too but consider that other people really wanna go to this school and they get waitlisted so now they gotta wait another 2-4 months for an uncertain decision

[warm juniper]

i cant wait for the 10000 co 2030 insta pages to be released

and then charge $5

😭

[ashen sky]

they were already made

[woven rune]

If you withdraw early you are helping them

[warm juniper]

yea i know

There was one page where it was a graduated senior running it

[ashen sky]

usually they're just the previous years page with the username changed right

[warm juniper]

They followed like 95% girls and then sent weird reels

[woven rune]

Decisions are decided long before decisions are released

[warm juniper]

💀💀💀

[ashen sky]

bruh

[woven rune]

My ucsd acceptance was confirmed january 10

[ashen sky]

wait like college or hs senior 💀

[warm juniper]

it was weird asf and disgusting

nah graduated college senior

[tired radish]

Howd u find that out

[ashen sky]

bruh thats epstein

[woven rune]

saw my file

[warm juniper]

its not epstein

Epstein was kids

[ashen sky]

its ghislaine maxwell

[warm juniper]

Epstein 2.0 college edition

[woven rune]

obviously everyone has a different timeline

But like yk if you withdraw early they can start looking at enrollment already and make wl decisiosn earlier

[warm juniper]

hooray

[woven rune]

Or maybe hypothetically someone in the wl pile gets moved to accepted before decisions even drop

[tired radish]

But like if im alr rejected it wont change anything

[woven rune]

Cause they were ranked mad high on the wl and you were admitted but withdrew before you got your decision

[woven rune]

yeah but how would you know that

[warm juniper]

@woven rune How long did it take to get ur file

like a week or 2?

[woven rune]

Like 2-3 weeks i think

[warm juniper]

not bad

[tired radish]

Cuz ucla has a 6% ar 💀

[woven rune]

I guess bruh

Who cares abt that shit

ucs are unpredictable af for freshmen

ik heads at ucla who got in off the bat or off the wl with either 10 Bs on the transcript or like 5 Cs

Grades are stupid and don't mean shit in hs

[warm juniper]

yes

[woven rune]

I got waitlisted with 8 Bs on my transcript

[warm juniper]

What matters if ur first gen and pell grant

[woven rune]

Yeah first gen is always gonna help you

[warm juniper]

is if

[tired radish]

Im first gen american 🥀

[warm juniper]

Do u think they r ever gonna remove the stupid double major point system

[dire lance]

facts

[warm juniper]

😭

Lowk killing my chances

[ashen sky]

man i was so close to first gen

[woven rune]

wat that

[tired radish]

How does this work

[ashen sky]

my mom got a bachelors right before i went to kindergarten

[warm juniper]

if ur applying to capped major

[tired radish]

💀

[warm juniper]

U get /4 prs

Pts

[woven rune]

You get to college and realize that the person sitting next to you is getting a fucken 35% on an easy ass test and you find out that they never got any grade other than an A in high school

[ashen sky]

damn capped majors get nerfed

i applied bio when it was capped 💀 💀

[warm juniper]

1 for gpa 1 for resident 1 for pell grant 1 for first gen

above 3.0*

[dire lance]

is this legit

[woven rune]

I remember being in my bild 5 lecture and this dude in front of me was going through his ap scores for some reason and that shit was STRAIGHT 2s

[buoyant axle]

no way

[woven rune]

Dude

You will see bro

[tired radish]

??? So mfs can have 8.8s?

[woven rune]

College has some of the smartest and moronic people ever

[warm juniper]

Huh what

[ashen sky]

hey college is hard compared to hs 🥀

[warm juniper]

this is to apply for a double major that is capped

[buoyant axle]

class average 44% for ap chem folk 🥀

[woven rune]

People you are like how are you not at harvard and others that probably forgot the alphabet or something

[warm juniper]

This isnt for yall😭😭

[ashen sky]

im the dumbass who got 30% on an easy ass midterm

[woven rune]

high school is mickey mouse shit lmao

[ashen sky]

gen chem is not for the weak

[woven rune]

College is real shit

I never studied more than 2 days in advance for exams in hs except ap exams

In college bro we start studying 5 days before

[ashen sky]

i didn't know i didn't know acidbase equilibria that bad

[woven rune]

I always hit study seshes the night before tests in hs and it would work out fine

In college that shit will not work unless you like took the class in hs and just didn't get credit like for phys 1a here

[ashen sky]

i did acidbase equilibria as a science olympiad event and medaled, 5 on ap chem, A in ap chem

C in gen chem 1

[woven rune]

I got a 5 on ap physics 1 but ap physics 1 score doesn't get you credit ever so i retook phys 1a and that was the easiest class of my life bro

[warm juniper]

I got credit

[woven rune]

and averages on quizzes were like 50-60%

[warm juniper]

oh wait it was phys 10

[buoyant axle]

wait bro if you js study ahead you will be fine right

[warm juniper]

Nvm

[buoyant axle]

like a week before

[woven rune]

Yeah but like

Good notes, ask questions, be involved, study early, study effectively.

[tired radish]

Hs is so aids bro majority of the time spent is on subjects idgaf about

[ashen sky]

who is studying ahead in college 🥀

[tired radish]

Way easier to do something actually fun

[ashen sky]

50 hours of homework

[near hatch]

👎👎

[warm juniper]

[tired radish]

[woven rune]

THANK GOD FOR SYN

[ashen sky]

[tired radish]

[woven rune]

Oh yeah probably

[ashen sky]

[woven rune]

Ngl bro some of these classes I got an A cause of a mickey mouse ass prof

LIke 10% extra credit on your grade just for going to discussion section

Not even trolling

[near hatch]

[ashen sky]

csuf nursing is 9% ar

like ts wild

[ashen sky]

WHAT

[tired radish]

Dont most uc chancellors live in mansions

Its still owned by the school no?

[ashen sky]

I GET 0.1% EXTRA CREDIT EVERY SEMESTER

[woven rune]

But the point i'm tryna make by flexing my grades is that you can be a good student in hs and be shit in college, or be like me and get straight Bs in hs but mog in college

[ashen sky]

IT DOESN'T DO SHIT

FAHH

[woven rune]

Just learn how to study and make good habits but have fun too

Lmao 0.1% fade that

Go out get drunk stay out late meet new people

[ashen sky]

i genuinely don't know how i got into these schools

[woven rune]

[ashen sky]

why am i cooked

[tired radish]

Money 🥀

[ashen sky]

id be a fucking statistic on that ucsd math placement exam

[near hatch]

i have no clue i just know bro spawned in and instantly got a crazy expensive house while also saying we can't have 24/7 lib bc of funding

[ashen sky]

they'd make a new article about how i can't do math if i went to ucsd

like specifically me

[tired radish]

What about the uchicago math placement exam 💀

[woven rune]

I dropped math 11 cause that shit was gonna be hard

Taking that at cc

[ashen sky]

[woven rune]

UCSD

[ashen sky]

[woven rune]

Our associated students president got us our 24 hr library back

[wise wedge]

[woven rune]

But like it's only one section of the library not the whole thing

[wise wedge]

tf

[tired radish]

Bro ngl ucsd got a sick ass fucking library

[past minnow]

Leavey

[tired radish]

If that things a library im assuming it is

[near hatch]

ours is during finals but the amount of floors u go to is reduced and i think our associated students are using their funds to keep a small part open during the rest of the quarter

[woven rune]

you know you go to a nerdy ass school when people are celebrating and freaking out over getting a 24 hour library back

[woven rune]

yk our library was in yeat's music video for breathe

[ashen sky]

thats 24/7

i thought it closed

[past minnow]

Weekends it isn’t but weekday ya

[tired radish]

The like geometric floating rectangle thing?

[past minnow]

I used to do 3 am study sessions cramming and studying for midterms

I still got a 50%

[ashen sky]

oh shi i could've been doing work at leavey instead of pulling all nighters in my dorm

[fringe hearth]

Tbh besides midterms and finals times I don't see a point of having it open 24 hours

[tired radish]

Im ngl i wish someone could just steal that library and take it over

[ashen sky]

me cramming for chem and unironically walking out with a 30%

[tired radish]

Ucsd dont deserve ts 🥀

[past minnow]

Dorm is nice if ur roommate is cool cuz then u can just sleep at ur dorm

[ashen sky]

yeah my roommate sleeps through anything

[past minnow]

Valid 😭

[near hatch]

i've been there super late during non finals or midterms 🫩 so i enjoy the 24 hrs

[fringe hearth]

Oh

[ashen sky]

i wish there were legit study pods tho

[fringe hearth]

What about sleep

[spark vault]

Yes

[fringe hearth]

I use the closing time as motivation to finish faster

[past minnow]

Might have to go far for these ones. Most are all in the Viterbi buildings but bro Marshall like study lounges are beautiful

I luv them

[woven rune]

i'm dead bruh

[tired radish]

Also whats the best area near ucsb to live thats not like party ridden

[tired radish]

[ashen sky]

if you get into ucla get the universal studios membership

[dreamy carbon]

Manifesting ucla

[ashen sky]

if you get into uci get the disneyland membership

[near hatch]

everywhere is super close but the street closest is where the most parties happen

[fringe hearth]

Ur first year dorm if u choose the LLC will be next to the ocean

Or super close

[tired radish]

Oh bet

[ashen sky]

man ucsb marine bio programs gotta be so goated

[ashen sky]

beach or plants

[tired radish]

Whats your major

[ashen sky]

uc davis is for abgs

[tired radish]

Irvine for u chinese immigrants

[dusk cradle]

I like university of Chinese immigrants

[near hatch]

depends on ur major and what u like to do

i think a lot of ppl think ucsb is such a big party school that outweighs its academics and that's def not true and there's so many ppl here who aren't involved in the party scene at all

[karmic nacelle]

i like the university of chase bank

[tired radish]

@fringe hearth is there ac in sb

[fringe hearth]

My dorm doesn't have one

But honestly idt I ever needed it

Summers here are pretty cold relatively

Like even in June the highs are around 70 ish

[cedar grove]

Is it difficult to get to the CCS LLC ? As a freshman?

[fringe hearth]

If ur in ccs it's essentially guaranteed

It's meant for freshman cause most ppl go of campus afterwards

[cedar grove]

[indigo garnet]

yo this is actually fireeeeee

[shrewd widget]

what is up with the UC astro server omg 😭

[indigo garnet]

out of topic but that last commentor is so cool

[potent needle]

there was fake portal astro?

wild

[dense breach]

Truly

Like, call them out on it

It’s so crappy

[dense breach]

Yeah, I missed it bc I was doing hw, and then went online once it was debunked

[earnest finch]

UC Reddit is gotta be a joke

[lapis crow]

They have a point about how people shouldn't be looking at astrology if it's going to freak them out this badly, but also, why the hell would you make fake astrology to begin with??? What's wrong with these people 😭

[indigo garnet]

well i live in the bay

[lapis crow]

Get hobbies that involve going outside

[indigo garnet]

and ik a bunch of stuff on cal ppl

there was this dude who was forced to move to another high school bc he caused a gigantic problem

and he got into cal

wow

[warm token]

Why is there an r/ucsdadmissions we r not all that

[lapis crow]

Ik a Stanford admit who tried to sabotage another team during a competition his senior year and got caught

[indigo garnet]

bruh

[lapis crow]

Bay area colleges admit some crazy people dude

[indigo garnet]

yep

[shrewd widget]

they made so much fake astro for ucla and ucsd and they deliberately edited pages, it really sucks

a2c is sm nicer 😢 i love you guys

its always those bay area socal kids doing this stuff

[indigo garnet]

tbh bay area it self is crazy

[dapper bear]

i thought they just had someone who got in early and then just started making stuff off based off those
or is that only this time

[shrewd widget]

for uc berkley maybe but for ucla and ucsd no

they made information up

[lapis crow]

Yeah, the amount of fake astro going around is getting on my nerves. I'm sick of astro in general atp

[native arrow]

socal didn't do no wrong it's all bay area🥀

[indigo garnet]

i literally received sarcasm from a random girl for getting into unis that she got rejected to

[shrewd widget]

sorry i take it back for you 💔 i love socal

[indigo garnet]

omg i wanna move to socal

[shrewd widget]

tbf....i kind of liked it for uci since for me it worked and it helped me brace myself for a rejection and not feel as terrible

[indigo garnet]

like bay is...

[shrewd widget]

but i completely understand your point

[lapis crow]

socal people are nuts but in their own distinct way. I feel like socal people tend to be socially nuts and bay area people tend to be competitively nuts

[shrewd widget]

i would like astro if all o fit worked since i wouldnt feel as bad or paranoid waiting

[dapper bear]

i'm from socal...
competitively nuts is everywhere

[indigo garnet]

socal is sometimes crazy but NOT MEAN

bay area is both crazy and mean

[lapis crow]

I've been hiding my acceptances from and lying to people because someone will genuinely probably try to jump me for getting into unis they got rejected from

[warm token]

Yes u do

[indigo garnet]

omg that one girl was like 'o i got yield protection and u got...iykyk'

like stfu plz

[indigo garnet]

yeah i do...

[spark vault]

third pic just looks like santa cruz ngl

[lapis crow]

The yield copium is crazy with the UCs right now

[spark vault]

with the birds

[lapis crow]

I think I've been to that beach

[warm token]

Yes that’s just La Jolla cove lol

[indigo garnet]

btw im the one who got in...

[dapper bear]

competitively nuts to the point I could probably get half my school's college acceptances revoked for cheating because that's what everybody does 😭

[lapis crow]

Wait is that la jolla

YEAH

Got it

[indigo garnet]

uhhh bay area is worse

hahah

way more than half

[lapis crow]

yeah

[dapper bear]

other half doesn't give a shit about college and school so

[lapis crow]

I think California applicants in general have reached a certain level of crazy though

[indigo garnet]

yeah

[warm token]

Tbh I got college decisions while schools were still remote so I have no experience with this :3

I’m unc

[lapis crow]

There's so much cheating, sabotage, competition, and bitching happening right now that it's just wild

[indigo garnet]

theres cheating with bf and gf as well

[warm token]

My former high school is basically a Bay Area hs now bc it’s all these Indian ppl moving east from Cupertino 😭😭

[lapis crow]

I can't tell anyone at my school that I got into UC Davis because most of them got waitlisted or rejected and they all thought Davis would be easy

[indigo garnet]

ok this is me rn

i got jumped on for uiuc bruh

like "im sorry"

[warm token]

u guys making me scared for my lil brother i j hope he gets into cal poly or sjsu 😭

[spark vault]

only the people that applied engineering got waitlisted from davis/irvine at my hs

[lapis crow]

I got in with a non-impacted major like I swear 😭 don't come for me I promise it's not my fault Davis bio has an acceptance rate of like 0.0001%

[spark vault]

and some of them got in as well

[dapper bear]

hopefully your school doesn't constantly also violate ed code and get away with it because the district doesn't care either😭

[indigo garnet]

o yeah i didnt apply to engineering

i applied to premed majors

and guess what

[torpid berry]

campbell district?

[lapis crow]

sjsu is almost guaranteed unless he's failing all his classes

[indigo garnet]

my school is like 'she didnt apply to engineering tho'

[warm token]

No wayyyy east

[spark vault]

i got chem eng for irvine and applied chem for davis

[warm token]

Like not even Bay Area anymore

But everyone works in the bay

[torpid berry]

[warm token]

I think mountain house may have the biggest Indian population?

[fallow fog]

[warm token]

[torpid berry]

[near hatch]

[ocean aspen]

My friend said davis is boring if u make it boring, u js gotta socialize

[indigo garnet]

[echo wasp]

[ashen sky]

as they should

[spark vault]

i dont get aid in state either 🥀

[indigo garnet]

yesssssss

[raven tusk]

💅

[indigo garnet]

yesssss....

[ocean aspen]

I got a pretty good award but idk if it’ll still be expensive or nott

[indigo garnet]

bro i thought aid is like free cash

[echo wasp]

they should tell you the price

[indigo garnet]

and its letting us borrow money like wth

[ocean aspen]

is it ok if i say how much i got? Dont rly wna seem like im bragging but i js need more opinions

[echo wasp]

i mean if you are comfortable with it

[spark vault]

loans arent real
only grants and scholarships

[ashen sky]

this emoji looks like feet

[indigo garnet]

idc give it a shot

[echo wasp]

but they should tell you your overall cost

[spark vault]

sure

[ocean aspen]

I got $82k award over 4 yrs

So like

21k per yr

[indigo garnet]

whats oos intl tuition

50k?

[ashen sky]

wait is this aid or a whole ass scholarship

[ocean aspen]

I think that total covers like a yr of tuition

[raven tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/obama-not-convince-gif-9983571

[ocean aspen]

Scholarship.

[ashen sky]

holy moly

[echo wasp]

is this davis or sb?

[ashen sky]

thats a lot fr

[ocean aspen]

Davis

[spark vault]

still gonna be like 60k a year tho...

[echo wasp]

i mean international is expensive asf

even with 81k scholarship

[indigo garnet]

not little but not much

[warm token]

Ye that’s good but school expensive asf nowadays even with that

[ocean aspen]

Yeahh

[thorn moat]

multiple ppl telling me to go to davis today lol

[echo wasp]

sb nothing?

[indigo garnet]

and idk where u from but the inflation in usa is crazy rn

[ashen sky]

if i had a scholarship i would get refund checks from ucs fr

[ocean aspen]

The total 82k technically covers like a yr

[indigo garnet]

so u prob gotta think abt spendings outside

[warm token]

Tuition is like $39K and then COL is probs $20-30K is my guess

I don’t remember the exact numbers

[spark vault]

psure oos coa is like 85k

[ocean aspen]

Someone said they got theirs a week aft their decision

[warm token]

Wait what is base tuition

[ocean aspen]

So ig i js gotta wait

[ocean aspen]

OMG FRRR

im from indonesia

So its gna be exp asff

[echo wasp]

oh right yeah, forgot they didnt release offers yet mb

[warm token]

They say that but also I don’t know if I believe it like how tf do they make u pay that much

[spark vault]

yeah idk

[echo wasp]

cuz they can

cuz someone will pay that much

[ocean aspen]

The scholarships a pretty big reason i wna go to davis

[echo wasp]

do you mind me asking which major?

[ocean aspen]

Cz like y spend more money on school when u can spend less

[indigo garnet]

cali is famous for inflation in the us as well so think abt it

[echo wasp]

for each school

[warm token]

wtf how is cost of living like $34K in Davis that seems not real

[ocean aspen]

medicinal chem and drug design at davis
Im taking bio at sb

[echo wasp]

i personally wouldnt do 20k just for davis vs sb tbh

[indigo garnet]

id choose sb tbh

[echo wasp]

really?

[indigo garnet]

like bro food? u can cook

[warm token]

Oh tuition went up $2K dang

[ocean aspen]

Damnn

[warm token]

From my base tuition

[indigo garnet]

and the scholarship isnt that much for intl tuitions

[echo wasp]

If money is not a concern for you I would say sb (biased) but if it is then def davis

[indigo garnet]

for instate its a hell yes

[spark vault]

if the aid isnt comparable it probably isnt an option
oos price is crazy even with that 80k

[ocean aspen]

Money isnt rly a concern but I FEEL RLY BAD SPENDING SM FOR UNI

Ykwim??

[echo wasp]

valid

[warm token]

Why is room and board $22k

[ocean aspen]

Im rly grateful that money isnt an issue for me but id still prefer to save up whenever i can

[warm token]

Ok whatever

[indigo garnet]

well uc schools r pretty cheap compared to other schools

like privates r 💀

[spark vault]

oos uc is not cheap 😭

[warm token]

Actually lowk am I spending that

[echo wasp]

for international ehhh

[indigo garnet]

ik but comparing to privates they r

[ashen sky]

oos/intl is around the same as a private school

[indigo garnet]

rlly? cmu was way higher

[spark vault]

and private schools tend to give aid...

[indigo garnet]

if u add dorms and all of the spendings

[ashen sky]

ur comparing like 85k to like 90k

[echo wasp]

for a select few universities it is higheer

but UC is pretty expensive

[indigo garnet]

i dont think they give it for intl tho

[warm token]

I’m still confused how it adds up to $85K

[indigo garnet]

they do but not that much

[ashen sky]

theres less than 10 private schools that really give aid to intls

[spark vault]

hm

[ashen sky]

or like give need based

[echo wasp]

tuition is a million

[ashen sky]

theres always merit aid ig

[indigo garnet]

yeah this is hella common

[ocean aspen]

Im worried cz like ur not guaranteed housing as a second yr right?

[indigo garnet]

idk for ucsb and ucd

for la its 4 yrs gurantee

[ocean aspen]

N like i heard cheaper apartments near campus r pretry sketchy…

[shrewd widget]

dude this is just people withdrawing over ucsd portal astro 2.0

[indigo garnet]

sd its like 2 yrs

[shrewd widget]

people almost withdrew uc berk applis over the fake astro scare

[indigo garnet]

natural selection lmafo

i luv english

[echo wasp]

idk about davis but sb is fine

[warm token]

Bc no ok Davis says like it’s $49K for an in state student which lowk seems like a lot already. Nonresident tuition adds like $24K so that’s $73K overall but they somehow add like $13-$14K to that???!

[echo wasp]

is nonresident not like 40k?

[ocean aspen]

Yeahh😭😭

[ashen sky]

why is it the same as ucla lmao

[ocean aspen]

Craazzyy

[spark vault]

what if i doordash food 3 times day

[indigo garnet]

u rich or smth?

[warm token]

Oh wait is it $39K added

[indigo garnet]

ive never used doordash in my life

[warm token]

That makes sense

[spark vault]

trying to fill the 85k budget

[echo wasp]

yeahh

its your 40k + normal tuition

[warm token]

I thought it was $39k overall for some reason

[echo wasp]

uc system very hard to afford if you are oos

[indigo garnet]

and a lot of ucs dont like giving aid to oos intl

[spark vault]

good?

[indigo garnet]

i was surprised that u got a scholarship at first

[ocean aspen]

I deff wna work while in college but idt i’ll be able to make THAAATT much to contribute to my tuition

[warm token]

I remember ucsd used to have an oos scholarship and that + my friends dad getting education money from his job at the UN let them afford OOS from NY

[ocean aspen]

AHAHAHAHAHA me too

[echo wasp]

you would 100% not

[indigo garnet]

wait u wanna work during college?

[echo wasp]

you would at best make your living expenses

[ocean aspen]

Yeahh ofc

[indigo garnet]

is ur visa type good for it?

[ocean aspen]

I think so, prolly gotta work on campus first anyws

[indigo garnet]

o yeah on camp will be safe

[ocean aspen]

My friend from indo who goes to davis worked like 3 jobs at one point

[echo wasp]

on campus doesnt pay much however

[indigo garnet]

btw ice is roaming around ca so we gotta be careful

[ocean aspen]

Yeah…

[echo wasp]

and i think they prioritize other people

[ocean aspen]

Damn

[echo wasp]

its fine on campuses

[ocean aspen]

Wdym hy that

[karmic nacelle]

also at some point isnt ur pay taxable

[ocean aspen]

Omg fr?

[warm token]

Our department is younger than the president wow

[echo wasp]

uhhh i dont think you make enough for that

[karmic nacelle]

when i got back my fin aid they said my work-study may be taxable

[echo wasp]

most positions they first give need-based

[karmic nacelle]

but probn only when u hit a certain number

[echo wasp]

unless its a technical job

[ocean aspen]

Oohh

[karmic nacelle]

for me 5k a yr aint gonna be taxable

[warm token]

They’ll only take payroll off it like ur not getting taxed beyond that idt

[echo wasp]

you will most likely not make enough to be taxed

[karmic nacelle]

in anythign i should get benefits fr

[echo wasp]

but i mean medicare and stuff still is a small percent

[warm token]

And payroll is taken before u get your paycheck

[indigo garnet]

bruh how little do they pay

[warm token]

Most of the time

[indigo garnet]

ca loves taxes

[echo wasp]

like 16 an hour or smth

[indigo garnet]

they will do anything to get taxes

[warm token]

I thought minimum wage is higher now

[karmic nacelle]

depends but usually is not much above min wage

[indigo garnet]

wth thats lower than minimum wage here

[echo wasp]

ill check

[karmic nacelle]

in cali?

thats kinda diabolical

[ocean aspen]

Thats crazy

[karmic nacelle]

thats arnd the pay u get in purdue

[spark vault]

minimum wage in santa cruz is like 16.50 an hour
seems about right

[indigo garnet]

min wage is close to 20 rn in the bay

[karmic nacelle]

well its abit more but

still

[warm token]

Yeah well it’s bc like we can’t rly charge more property tax thanks to a thing called prop 13 so we instead increase every other tax 💀
